Whakauae and Te Atawhai o Te Ao: Independent Māori Research Institute for Environment and Health (TAOTA) had the privilege of co-hosting the second Ngā Pae o Te Māramatanga Annual Principal Investigators' Wānanga held at Rānana Marae on the awa Whanganui from the 11th - 14th February.
The opportunity to work closely with the team at TAOTA further strengthened our bond as the two community/iwi based independent research centres located in Whanganui. Planning the Wānanga meant we could think about how we wanted to reflect the tikanga and kaupapa of both organisations and of course reflect the Māori leadership inherent in Te Ātihaunui a Pāpārangi. Invited Whanganui speakers included Che Wilson, Gerard Albert and Turama Hawira; reflecting the Ngā Pae themes of Te Tai Ao, Te Reo me Ngā Tikanga and Mauri Ora. To further build on these themes and that of Whai Rawa, a trip was organised to Morikau Station, an exemplar of Māori business development located close to Rānana Marae. The formal part of the programme was rounded off with a lively debate on Whānau Ora with guest speakers; Richard Steedman, Wheturangi Walsh-Tapiata and Amohia Boulton.
Whānau Ora Panel; Amohia Boulton, Richard Steedman and Wheturangi Walsh-Tapiata.
More than thirty of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga's senior researchers including the NPM leadership team and new Board Chair, Kerensa Johnston, came together for the four days to discuss the research themes and programme of research, further develop research alliances and talk through the key questions and focus for the forthcoming Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE) funding round NPM will be going through later in 2019. The goal of the wānanga was to reflect on the past year and continue planning with a focus on the future.
As one of the hosts of the hui, Whakauae were delighted with the outcomes; the venue and environment was fabulous and conducive to the mahi we needed to engage in, the formal part of the programme was stimulating and reflective of Māori excellence more generally and participants engaged fully with each other and took advantage of the opportunities provided by the Wānanga. Thank you to Ngā Pae o Te Māramatanga for the opportunity to co-host this Wānanga and we would encourage others to support and host future similar events.
